Trump quietly switches planes after Iran threat warning
New: CIA questioned Israeli intelligence, but the Secret Service still moved Trump as a precaution.
U.S. President Donald Trump quietly switched planes when leaving Turkey after Israel warned of a suspected Iranian threat to Air Force One. The report said the Israeli warning prompted the Secret Service to move Trump to a smaller military jet, while Trump said he was only following security instructions. According to The Washington Post, CIA analysts did not view the Israeli intelligence as convincing enough and had relayed those doubts to Trump administration officials. Turkey then accused Israel of inventing the story to disrupt negotiations between Tehran and Washington. Iran also denied targeting Trump.
